About Us

Built from a Love
of the Sea

Founded in 2016 from a love of the ocean and a passion for conservation, Bunaken Oasis was created to redefine diving in North Sulawesi. It began as a personal vision – to offer an exceptional experience without compromising on comfort or the environment for divers and non-divers alike. Oasis is now established as Indonesia’s leading diving resort, having won this category of the World Travel Awards for the last eight years. Every element, from our PADI-certified dive centre to our elevated fresh-water infinity pool, was built to create harmony between indulgence and nature.

Sustainability at Our Core, Luxury with a Lighter Footprint.

Protecting what makes Bunaken exceptional.

The future of Bunaken Oasis depends on the preservation of the marine environment that surrounds it. The resort operates with a clear commitment to environmental responsibility and supports conservation initiatives that protect the reef system and its biodiversity. This approach ensures that guests experience a marine environment of exceptional quality, both today and tomorrow.

Up to 97% of our team members are from the local islands
0% use of plastic bottles. On-site water makers and an infrastructure designed for potable water throughout.

Protecting the Reef

We’re privileged to call the Bunaken National Park home – and with that comes a responsibility to protect it. All of our diving and snorkelling activities follow a strict no-touch, no-anchor policy. Our dive team is trained in marine awareness and actively participates in coral monitoring, debris cleanups, and reef rehabilitation projects. We also support local conservation groups and contribute to research initiatives focused on protecting Bunaken’s diverse marine species. When you dive with us, you’re not just exploring a reef – you’re helping protect it for the future.

Guests are requested to bring reef-safe sun products. For those who cannot bring them, we offer a range for sale in the boutique.

Local First

Community is central to everything we do. Over 97% of our team is Indonesian, many from villages right here on the island. We invest in their training, education, and wellbeing – because a stronger team means a stronger impact. Our menus feature fresh ingredients from local farmers and fishers, supporting sustainable livelihoods and reducing our carbon footprint. We also partner with local artisans for furnishings and spa products, keeping our sourcing ethical, traceable, and close to home. When you stay with us, you directly support the people who make this place so special.

There is something deeply rewarding about sharing a dive with people who care just as much about the reef as they do about the adventure. Grateful for our wonderful ocean community coming together this PADI AWARE Week to survey, collect, and protect our underwater home. 🤿💙

The gentle rhythm of the waves, the endless blue, and that quiet moment of anticipation as you look towards the horizon.

And then, a glimpse of dolphins in the wild.

A beautiful way to begin the day.

Leadership grows stronger when we connect beyond the boardroom. Our Management and Supervisors Summit in Manado was an unforgettable blend of strategy, collaboration, and pure adventure. From navigating the rapids during rafting to tactical paintball battles and spirited mini games at Rote Park and Rumah Alam, every moment was filled with energy, shared laughter, and true teamwork. Ready to bring this synergy back to everything we do.
